There once was a funny, smart, attractive, intelligent, attractive, thin, energetic, attractive, young-looking for her age, wife and mother. She always had a clean house, empty sink, and spotless fridge with no un-identifiable left-overs in little plastic containers crowding every shelf.
She was the best!
One day disaster struck. Her children were out of school at the same time her husband had an out-of-town trip.
Her usually serene and clean life disappeared like the last vanilla flavored Tootsie Roll 2 weeks after Halloween.
No matter what she did she couldn't keep up.
She did the dishes. 5 minutes later it was mysteriously full.
She cleaned the playroom. 5 minutes later it looked like Armageddon.
She swept the floor. 5 minutes later it was covered in sandwich crumbs, dog-hair, and Kool-aid.
There was clearly a conspiracy going on.
To make matters worse her 2 year old got sick. Runny nose and coughing galore.
She couldn't even send him to nursery for her weekly break.
THEN her husband came home from his trip sick and grumpy.
He even stayed home from work one day, which is, like, 10 times worse than having a toddler home sick all day.
Things were not going well.
Her husband finally returned to work with the parting threat that he might not make it through the day and may come home early.
The horror!
To sum things up: Things sucked. Big-time!
So much so that she couldn't get her Wednesday project done.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
(p.s. This story is mostly true.)

I totally hear ya, sister! That is the story of my life every day. Except for the sick people (unless you count Sareny, because she says she's sick everyday and expects me to wait on her and take care of her. It's a little ridiculous).
Oh, and the first part about having everything together. Basically, it's just Armageddon around here everyday.
It IS a conspiracy!!! I have given up on my once clean house... (sigh) Hope everyone is feeling better!
